HELP electronic processing confusion

[Jadenjewel 9]

I'm adding this so all who go through Electronic Processing don't pull their hair out too.

I want to bring you up to date on Electronic Processing.

They are having some major issues there. We received another email today saying they were missing documents for our visa processing. His AOS and "CERTIFIED COPIES" of my documents for electronic processing.

After inhaling deeply we talked and made specific questions for them AGAIN.

!. Do you have us as optin for electronic processing.

Answer... doesn't show but by your email it is in the system.

2. Would you please get a supervisor.

Supervisor:

By your emails you are in the system, we are having problems here with a backlog.

Resend everything with the coversheet I will send you.

No nothing needs to be certified for electronic processing they are in error.

Yes everything you sent is correct.

So maybe they have new hires who aren't familiar with this new process and this is the reason for these automated emails that will send the visa applicant and petitioner crazy.

It is not complicated although with their inept dealing with this it would seem so.

Hopefully they will process our case now that a supervisor is on it.

Just wanted to let you know in case any one else is dealing with this.

Look for replies from NVC electronic, not NVC inquiry. The replies from NVC electronic show that you are in the system.

PLUS.... It is taking two weeks for the Optin -IN be acknowledged. THEY ARE SLOW RIGHT NOW

i am confused about this email process. if you choose to opt in then you need to electronically send all your documents in including tax returns for the last three years? also i thought i read the petitioner has to send in his marriage certificates for all his marriages? is this correct? why would that be? she needs to ahve original birth certificate that is stamped also?she needs to take oriinals of everything to interview also? i can't give my original birth certificate to her.

As far as I know , Brazil is not eligible for electronic processing - that means that all the documents can be scanned in pdf documents and processed that way. But you can give NVC your email address and they will send you notification electronically which makes it faster than you waiting via postal services. But when you reply ie send in your packages, you have to send them via postal or courier etc. Electronic processing means the entire packages ie DS3032, I 864 and supporting documents, and DS230 and supporting documents are processed all via email. Check the countries, I know it's Canada and China but the 3rd country escapes me as I type this.

Things are really out of sync at NVC!

I received 7 emails from them and they are all conflicting.

Talking to the operator and supervisors...2 of them they all have different stories.:angry::angry:

So stayed tuned for updates on this: all of you are in EP at NVC. Or who are thinking of it.

Also of note.... Anyone who gets a long form Birth Certificate from B.C. they don't think its real! They have issued a new long form birth Certificate that is small and it looks like our "funny" money.

I'm thinking NVC is still confused on yer case, for that OPT IN and subsequent email submittals. Could be because of the lag, though. Lag Sucks!

After talking to the one supervisor and explaining this email of which they have all these documents. She said call us in a week:angry:!

The OPT IN we have is the correct one that says they are processing this way!

So my husband called and the supervisor he spoke to said "call back tomorrow" he'd put in an inquiry.

So we WAIT AND WAIT! :protest::ranting:

YOU SHOULD SEE the one going on here at home complete with ...This whole day was a loss trying to understand what they are doing!

[Darnell 8,479]

grrrr....

I dunno, there's been 2 cases for China, recently, that had blazing speed. The ONLY THING I SEE DIFFERENT, for yer casefile, is that you opted in AFTER you paid all fees.

The other casefiles (that I know about) - followed my steps on the wiki (and most of those steps came from Wyatt's Torch, a Canadien) . OPT IN was first, then pay the AOS fee bill, etc. etc., ad.naseum.

I'm not saying right or wrong here, just noting the difference on YOUR casefile timeline and timeticks.

Supposedly, there is also another class of sub-human at NVC, called a 'Visa Specialist' and you can ask for that type o Human as well, when you call in. I've not read of anyone asking for a Visa Specialist in some time, though - it's at least 18 months since I read about that 'label'.

Warmest Regards...

Nope we OPTED IN, before paying the fees. They said they lost that back in March. So will keep all posted on this... thanks Darnell. I just figured that was a March glitch.I checked everything on Wyatt's Torch as well so like they said in talking to them today they are back logged.

Sorry, was reading yer timeline in yer signature area - wasn't trying to nitpick

The IV bill showed up same time as the AOS bill, in the portal? I've heard of that happening, IF there was a lawyer involved. Maybe, if you have an attorney, you might want to check in with that person, inquire if anything was sent from the atty's office to NVC (and that's a stretch, me even saying that - wild @ss supposition, based on nothing).

Hi, JadenJewel. I noticed your timeline shows a case complete at NVC on 04/28/10. Are you waiting on the interview? Montreal Embassy normally is backed up 2 or three months. People with case completes in the first part of April received June appointment dates. Our case completed on 04/14, and we are still waiting to get in interview date. Here is a link to a thread for Montreal timelines - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/94768-ir1-cr1-montreal-timeline-to-interview/page__st__2895.

By what they have RFE'd you for, they received your documents email, BUT have not approved you for EP - which is why they are asking for a certified copy. I was told this might happen to me if I emailed my documents before getting the official approval. So, looks like your EP is not yet approved. Sorry.
